Having had physical therapy a number of times, I knew the importance of finding the right place for my rehab following my back surgery. My doctor referred me to Eastern Monmouth Physical Therapy. He said Eastern Monmouth was the only office that truly offers one on one care. He was right. Not only was my therapist knowledgeable and caring but I was the only patient he would work with during my treatment. Now I won’t let any of my friends or family go anywhere else.

After having ACL reconstruction surgery, I didn’t think I would be able to return to the level of physical activity I was at before. But thanks to Eastern Monmouth Physical Therapy, my knee hasn’t felt this good in six years and they gave me the confidence to once again pursue the activities I enjoy doing. This was hands down the best physical therapy staff I have ever experienced, and they were even able to work with my schedule to insure I got the best treatment possible.

My name is Barbara Friedrich Parcinski, a 1968 Olympian for Javelin and competitor of 17 years. I am a retired Health and Physical Education teacher and coach of 32 years. Many years of this active life put a toll on my back. I admire the therapists at Eastern Monmouth. They developed a physical therapy program which successfully helped me gain my flexibility and strength. I can now put in a long day of caregiving for my parents. Eastern Monmouth’s physical therapy program and post therapy home exercise program gets a gold medal prize for their overwhelming gift of expertise and caring.

Before going to Brian, I worked with a different physical therapist for my MPFL knee reconstruction recovery. I felt like I was in a room with many people, and my previous therapist would just go from one patient to another and leave me on my own to do many exercises. Unfortunately, this led to me never fully recovering due to the therapist never correcting me or helping me through my recovery. I was also cleared to return to basketball when I was not ready, which led to me getting even weaker. I had to go back to my surgeon with the worry of another surgery. Luckily, my school athletic trainer could tell I was favoring my knee and struggling, and luckily, she recommended I go see Brian. From my first appointment with him, I could tell this would be so different for me. He made my mother and I feel incredibly comfortable and assured us I could get stronger and recover. I noticed a significant difference after a week with Brian: his kind and gentle demeanor and his positivity and encouragement were exactly what I needed at a very challenging point in my recovery. He always works with me one-on-one and is attentive to me, correcting my form and helping me constructively. After a few months of therapy with Brian, I am at the strongest I have been in 2 years. I will never be able to thank Brian enough for all he has done for me.
